Live From London (Blue Vinyl)

Brand new dealed180 gram in Blue vinyl housed in gatefold cover.

After Gary Moore’s death in 2011, Eric Clapton played Still Got The Blues in concert as a tribute, indicating the high regard in which the former Thin Lizzy guitarist was held by his peers. 

And yet, in his biography of Moore, I Can’t Wait Until Tomorrow, Harry Shapiro raises the regrettably valid point that while Moore is revered by fans and musicians, he’s woefully under-appreciated in the wider sphere of popular music.

Live From London is a welcome reminder of Moore’s talent. Of all the styles he tried on for size, the blues was a natural fit, and this 2009 show finds him deeply immersed in the genre. 

Leading a crack band through a raw, varied set, Moore’s guitar work is incendiary on Oh Pretty Woman, emotive on Still Got The Blues and jaw-dropping on John Mayall’s Have You Heard.
